｢CC-Link Ver.1.10｣

Introduction
I
Introduction
This document describes the standard specifications of the CC-Link I/F that links a PLC and F372A/
F377A.
By using the CC-Link I/F, the F372A/F377A can be controlled directly from the PLC, so that wiring can
be substantially reduced.
Readers this document should have basic knowledge of the programming of the PLC and basic knowledge
of the CC-Link I/F.
The F372A/F377A with CC-Link I/F can be linked with general-purpose PLC as a remote device station
corresponding to the CC-Link Ver. 1.10.
(CC-Link is an abbreviation for Control & Communication Link.)
Cautions and Requests for Use
- Be sure to install the F372A/F377A in a panel.
- Be sure to perform Type III earth works when installing the main body.
- Be sure to disconnect the power cable when performing the following.
- Attachment/detachment of connectors of options.
- Wiring/connection of cables to terminal blocks.
- Use shielded cables for the connection of strain gauge type sensor, displacement sensor,
External input and output or options.
- Do not disassemble the main body for modifications or repair.
- Use F372A/F377A with correct supply voltage.

6. PLC Address
F372A/F377A enables to change the numbers of occupied stations by its setting.
Be careful the assignment of station number, double used station number is not available for PLC.
The address of remote (F372A/F377A) will be changed in accordance with the assignment of
station number.
Therefore, the address data of the F372A/F377A also changes according to Station No.
The following address map is in the state of Station No.1.

When the F372A/F377A is a unit at both ends, terminator resistance must be
installed. (Confirm with the CC-Link specifications.) At this time, when the DA and
DB signal lines and resistance are to be connected to the connector, be aware
that poor contact may result if the nipping conditions differ between the leg of the
resistance and signal lines. There is a possibility of abnormal operation.
